My car has been turning on my check engine light . My vtec seems to be staying on and it jerks my car back and kicks the light back on. I've been reading online and i'm not the only one with this problem. A lot of people say its the vtec oil pressure. I change my oil on a regular basis and don't think that this vehicle should be having this problem. It lacks power between 1-3000rpm and its not safe. *tr

As time and miles accumulated, from time to time the engine would race even after more than enough time to warm up. About a year ago, i went by the local honda dealer for another issue when i asked the (service manager) about my "racy…
